Artificial Intelligence: the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. [Google]
I wrote an AI to detect AI hype. So far it's batting a thousand. Let me know if you want in at the ground level.
Yes, anything that works is not AI, by definition.
